Interstellar comet ATLAS seen early this morning as a thin crescent moon passed immediately next to it. Still was able to capture three separate jets of ionic tail, and an anti tail? Or the dust tail? The comet was also passing by the galaxy NGC4691, which really gave the impression of the object being from another world.

Marvelous new image of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, taken by photographer Satoru Murata before dawn this morning. *
On the right you can also see galaxy NGC 4691. There should be a lot more pictures coming in soon.
(Yes, this one really is the interstellar comet.)
